Oil
In OPEC’s latest “Monthly Oil Market Report,” it expects oil demand to reach 90.6 million barrels per day in 2020 and 97.6 million barrels per day in 2021. Months before the coronavirus appeared, one former oil CEO calculated that the shale oil and gas industry has destroyed 80 percent of the capital entrusted to it since 2008. As oil prices creep up, oil stocks should begin to show some signs of life. Even one of the most ardent oil industry promoters of shale oil and gas development said earlier this year that North Dakota’s most productive days are over.
Not only is the oil industry in North Dakota suffering, but all those contractors who service the oil industry. The overall mood toward oil and oil stocks is pessimistic. The boom that ensued has now turned to bust as oil prices sagged in 2019 and then went into free fall with the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Oil output has also collapsed as the number of new wells needed to keep total production from these short-lived wells from shrinking has declined dramatically as well.
The collapse of oil demand in 2020 due to a huge contraction in the world economy associated with the pandemic has increased the pace of bankruptcies. Many pundits and forecasters expect a continued strengthening of oil demand.

United States
I continue to view MTS as a conservative dividend stock for investors who are not willing to join the hype train of the US stock market. The Wall Street Journal article “Exxon’s (NYSE:XOM) Departure From Dow Highlights Market’s Retreat From Energy Bets” (subscription required) highlights how far energy companies have fallen out of favor. Not all movement in the market is meaningful and it’s easy to get so caught up in short-term ups and downs that we end up trading randomness.
Brad Setser interpreted the trend in recent years as the US behaving like a household taking out a home equity loan…I don’t have one of those myself. From the March lows through recent highs, the S&P 500 is up 60 percent, the Nasdaq 100 77 percent and the Russell 2000 66 percent. Instead of condemning violent leftists such as Antifa, Biden instead blamed Trump for “recklessly encouraging violence” and failing to “lower the temperature.” Biden’s comments – echoed by his running mate Kamala Harris, come after a suspected self-admitted member of Antifa murdered a Trump supporter Saturday night in Portland.
TikTok Speaking of those tensions, China’s government isn’t going to make it easy for President Donald Trump to force the sale of the U.S. operations of short-video app TikTok.
Trump tweeted hours later, adding ” Remember, he can’t lose the Crazy Bernie Super Liberal vote!” It was only to be about detrimental media/Wall Street malpractice and hype that worked to disadvantage those who consumed it.
